Benjamin Doolittle UE is a Lower Mohawk of Grand River and a direct descendant of Mohawk Loyalist leadership connected to the Grand River settlement. He serves as Secretary-General for the Mohawk Nation of Grand River Secretariat and works to uphold the hereditary rights and responsibilities carried by his line. He is editor of the Two Row Times, the Secretariat’s press of record.

Through his matrilineal line he descends from Esther Springstead (Shatekariwate), a clanmother married to Captain David Hill, U.E.L. Matrilineal line: Tracey → Beverly → Mabel → Bertha → Lydia → Esther → Ellen (daughter of Isaac Brant) → Mary → Esther Springstead (Shatekariwate). This lineage places Benjamin as a sixth-great-grandson of Joseph Brant U.E.L. (Thayendanegea) and Isaac Brant of Canajoharie.

His work with Six Miles Deep focuses on recovering the Crown-recognized framework for Mohawk title along the Grand River — presented as a specific hereditary and Loyalist interest grounded in the Haldimand Proclamation and subsequent Crown instruments, rather than as a generalized “Aboriginal rights” argument. Benjamin has founded and developed several community initiatives that support Mohawk continuity and stewardship, including Grand Back, the Bluebelt conservation concept, Mohawk University, and the Kanien’kehà:ka Language Development Institute. He has also contributed to Indigenous media development, including support for the Two Row Times as a platform for Onkwehonwe voices and treaty-based perspectives.

Alongside his community work, Benjamin is an independent music producer releasing under the name One Way Current, published by Corn Press Publications; his creative work explores Mohawk history, land, and continuity in contemporary forms. He is a member of the United Empire Loyalist Association of Canada, the Royal Heraldry Society of Canada, and the Monarchist League of Canada, reflecting his focus on Crown honour, proper historical process, and lawful recognition.

Acquired Territory is his second book (First: Articles of Peace and War, 2018) — written, by his own account, the way a deponent writes an affidavit: one paragraph, one exhibit, one verified fact at a time, in support of an Application for Writ of Mandamus now before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The book follows that affidavit’s own architecture, but where the affidavit must stop and move to its next sworn paragraph, the book stays, explains, and shows its sources in full.
